When kids learn how to code their own computer games, they reap both primary and secondary benefits — much like when they participate in extracurriculars like art, ballet, or a team sport. Of course, learning how to code is an invaluable skill. It can help boost critical thinking skills directly applicable to other courses. It’s a string to the bow of any resume and can certainly help kids in later life as they pursue entry to a postsecondary institution or apply for a job.

Hello developer friends! I’m one of the big fans of cocos – this engine has made game development possible for me. However, there seems to be an issue with the latest update. We were using version 3.7.2 until a few weeks ago and then upgraded our engine. After this upgrade, we’ve been continuously receiving reviews that the Samsung models’ S-Pen and back button is no longer working.

Now consider this: this.node.on(Input.EventType.MOUSE_DOWN, this.onMouseDown, this); input.on(Input.EventType.MOUSE_MOVE, this.onMouseMove, this); onMouseDown now only gets called when the node is clicked on, which is also the correct

Hey, I hope you all are doing well today. I have a question regarding resizing the Windows container while running the game on native. The game does not open the window on the designed width x height from the project config after the build is done and running the.exe. I was not able to do it by code as well… How do I achieve that? Another question on this topic would be: How can we programmatically control the window container/resolution in the native build?
